In a new interview, Madix spoke of Scheana Marie and Mike Shay's marital troubles, which were brought on by his excessive drinking and substance abuse.

Continuing on, Madix revealed she had no idea that her longtime friend was secretly suffering from issues with addiction, and her boyfriend and co-star, Tom Sandoval, was also caught off-guard.

"Scheana is one of my closest friends, but Mike Shay is one of my best friends, as well," Madix explained. "We've had a lot of conversations on our own, and I was like, 'Wow, that's not something that I ever thought was going on with him.' And I felt really horribly that he didn't feel comfortable talking to anybody it, and that he was kind of suffering through this alone. It bummed me out on a level that's hard to describe."
